Rangitoto College has four strategic fundamentals in teaching and learning that drive the curriculum direction in the school; the behaviour curriculum, the knowledge-rich curriculum, the school teaching principles and Mātauranga Māori.

A rigorous and exciting scholarship programme challenges each individual student. Our extensive curriculum allows us to run separate timetabled scholarship classes, enabling students to focus fully on the skills needed for university.

Rangitoto College is a dual pathway school offering both NZQA and the globally recognised International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma programme. 

Our students share how our dual pathways options, the College’s scholarship classes, as well as extra-curricular opportunities, have enhanced their competencies, academic outcomes, cognitive dexterity and interpersonal skills.
